Lady Felidae

This is a completely redone version of an old piece I did (very clumsily, I might add) in watercolours, that one being titled Cat Lady. This one is done in Prismacolor pencils on dark green cardstock, and I'm considerably happier with it than I was with the older version. I didn't really know much about her when I did that watercolor version back in 2001, and I don't know much more about her now. I knew then that she was a noble lady of some sort, and she seemed fairly friendly. As I did this version, I think I've discovered that she's a bit higher up than just a noble--maybe even a queen, though I'm not certain--and she's very haughty, proud, and stubborn. She's not *bad*, she just takes a bit of getting used to. The 8.5' x 11' original of this is available for sale, and prints are availabe as well. October 2004; Prismacolor pencils on green cardstock.

This is the prologue to a novel I've had in mind for quite some time now; you can read the basic synopsis of the story here if you like, so you'll actually have some idea where this is going. I'm a notoriously lazy procrastinator, so you may not see any further chapters of this for quite some time--but the chapters I do finish will be posted both here and my my own website as soon as they're done (I'm only planning on posting up to about chapter three or four, though, because if I can actually complete this thing, I'm going to submit it to publishers for possible publication--which obviously means I don't need to be posting the whole thing up for anyone and everyone with a modem to read:-). As a side-note, this story actually had its beginnings in a drawing I did, which can be seen in my Loth gallery here.
